You are meant to be here. Have you ever heard this said? You are meant to be here. Lets say why. When people say it usually they mean there is a great big plan—or maybe even it is small, but you are meant to be here. There is intention behind your hips, behind your ribs, your pulse, your lips. The mind of Him. And of here of which they speak of now. Right here. Here- here you are meant to be right in this moment wide, ready, open hearted. Raise your hand as if it is a prayer. I am here, fully here.
